I've seen models of the 763 and 333 in the new livery, and they're in the Navi magazine.

The BEH has never been spotted as a model or in a magazine in the new livery.

Maybe some special one off livery ?

That's nice, but I'm not convinced we'll ever see a 763 in the new livery. In fact, I'd bet heavily against it.

The newest 763 in AC's mainline fleet (of 12) is a late 1991 build. They all rolled out of the factory between 1988 and 1991.

The latest investor presentation (page 11) has only eight left in the fleet by YE17 and five by YE18.

The 333s, yes, much better chance those are sticking around and will be re-painted. But if AC is getting rid of them (as many around here have speculated), then I'd imagine they're unlikely to get the new livery.

But it seems pretty likely the 763s will just stay toothpaste until they get sent to rouge or the boneyard.

Sky Regional Airlines has introduced one of its Embraer ERJ175s into service in the rebranded Air Canada express livery. Coincidentally, it’s the first of five ERJ175s newly acquired by Sky Regional to fulfill a capacity purchase agreement (CPA) with Air Canada Express.

The five are the third batch of ERJs for Sky Regional Airlines and were acquired secondhand. The first 15 ERJ175s were transferred from Air Canada mainline to Sky Regional to be operated for Air Canada Express between May and December 2013. Five more were acquired secondhand in 2015.

I see it is operating to ATL today, so have added it to the active roster in the wiki.

From the Skies Mag piece: "The ERJ175 is the third type to adopt the new livery, designed by international design firm Winkcreative..."

I'd say 4th type.

C-FRAM (77W) is operating AC16 HKG-YYZ after being ferried SIN-HKG, might be in the new livery.

C-FIVR (77W) was ferried HKG-SIN after AC15 YYZ-HKG. If FRAM is in the new livery, FIVR is most likely being painted.

landed in SIN yesterday morning, and saw the toothpaste tube coloured paint job. If you are correct that was FIVR waiting for a paint job... again I lament, when will we have a YVR-SIN route!

I was in the LHR lounge yesterday, sitting beside one of those big 777 models they have in most (all?) of the MLLs. And I got to wondering: Will they repaint those models to the new livery or just buy new ones? And if I they get rid of the old ones, how can I get one? I think it would look pretty slick in my home office.

I'm sure they're already "spoken for" by various employees.

I like the new livery.

They remind me of the yellow Angry Bird.

i'm really surprised this "new" livery actually came from a design firm, let alone a swiss one. i really thought it came from in house. i think some fsim types did something like this 5 years ago or so. in case yall don't know yet, i really am not a fan of this institutional design. at least they aren't touching the 767 until phase out.
